That would be much, much cooler than the real explanation.

Some of them can, if you keep them right. There was a kid who bought a few boxes of fancy chicken eggs and raised the one that hatched - cheaper than buying the animal.

The only ones that can hatch have been fertilized. Battery chicken farms for eggs have only female chickens.
